Pumwani Maternity hospital has been kitted with multi-purpose machines to improve maternal care. Head of clinical services Beth Maina said the machines will offer respiratory support to newborns with breathing problems. “The new machines will come in handy since 80-100 babies are delivered at Pumwani Maternity Hospital every day, with a number of them having complications at birth,” Dr Maina said. Pumwani Maternity has had a major transformation since September last year after the discovery of 12 dead infants in bags at the facility. Last month, a breast milk bank was opened at the largest maternity hospital in the country.
